#156 - Too big a gap

If the gap wasn't so large, they could still compete, but with such a significant difference now, how could they even try?

One can imagine the miserable fate awaiting them. Now, what they hate most isn't Audi, but Du Jie-Qiaopu of Benma Group.

If they could, they'd love to give Du Jie-Qiaopu a good beating right now.

They know that all of this was stirred up by Du Jie-Qiaopu. If it weren't for his proposal of a car safety test, how could they have participated in this five-star safety crash test?

Why did you have to come up with such a bad idea? Now you're courting death yourself, but why drag us down with you?

If they hadn't participated in this five-star safety crash test, they wouldn't be in such a miserable state. Even if they couldn't beat Audi, they would still have a share of the market, just with less profit.

Now, it's uncertain whether they can even keep that small profit. Their once-proud high-end brand has become a foil for Audi.

Now they're all blaming everyone but themselves. They don't seem to remember how eager they were when Du Jie-Qiaopu approached them.

If Du Jie-Qiaopu knew what they were thinking, he'd be furious.

If you all didn't support me, I couldn't have organized this test. After all, it takes two to tango. Who can be blamed?

After a while, Will, the head of the Otto Group, gritted his teeth and said to Lu Haifeng, "Mr. Lu, I have to admire your skill."

"I didn't expect Audi to be hiding so much. We all underestimated you. I must say, you are the strongest opponent I've ever met."

Hearing Will's words, Lu Haifeng smiled and said, "Haha, Mr. Will, you flatter me."

"To receive such high praise from Mr. Will is truly an honor."

"But it's not like we were hiding anything. Isn't Audi's strength all out in the open?"

"Isn't it your car's turn to be tested, Mr. Will? Maybe your car's performance will be even better."

At this moment, Will felt as if he had eaten shit. He had initially opposed coming to Daxia to test.

Now, hearing Lu Haifeng's words, it was like a knife twisting in his heart.

He knew what his company's product performance was like. This was simply mocking him.

Perhaps his product could reach a four-star rating, but it was far behind the Audi A4, with no advantages whatsoever.

"Humph."

He snorted coldly and stopped talking, as continuing would only make him lose face.

Meanwhile, Du Jie-Qiaopu, who had finally reacted, roared loudly, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

"How could the Audi A4 have such excellent results? You must have tampered with the test car!"

"The quality standards are definitely different from the products sold on the market. You are cheating! You are deceiving consumers! I will expose you!"

Du Jie-Qiaopu looked like a sore loser, shouting loudly.

Lu Haifeng wasn't angry; instead, he only despised him more. Du Jie-Qiaopu was the most excited when the Benma B250 received a four-star rating.

He said unhurriedly, "Mr. Qiaopu, if you're not convinced..."

"Oh, if you think there's a problem with this five-star safety test, we can retest it."

"I suggested before that we randomly select cars from each brand on the market for testing."

"That way, all the previous five-star safety crash tests will be invalid, and we can select and retest on the market now."

"Any Audi A4 supplied to the market can withstand scrutiny. You can choose however you want."

"I just don't know if your products, Mr. Qiaopu, can withstand scrutiny."

Lu Haifeng's words immediately scared Du Jie-Qiaopu into a cold sweat. He had only temporarily lost his mind; he wasn't brainless.

Seeing Lu Haifeng's confident look, he immediately admitted defeat.

He didn't dare to gamble, and he couldn't afford to gamble. Who knows, maybe the Audi A4 could withstand scrutiny, but their Benma B250 couldn't.

If they really randomly selected cars from each brand for the five-star safety crash test, then all of their products would be finished.

The test cars they provided and the products sold on the market had completely different quality standards. Once this was exposed, consumers would surely fight them to the death.

Just thinking about it made him panic. He was truly afraid now.

The heads of the other car brands weren't in much better shape at this moment.

Now, they were all cursing Du Jie-Qiaopu in their hearts for being such a brainless idiot.

Wasn't this idiot harming them enough? Now he wanted to drag them down with him?

Even if Audi had done the same thing as them, could this matter be exposed? Besides, you don't even have any evidence.

So, the heads of several car brands quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Mr. Lu, just kidding, just kidding."

"How could we question the fairness and impartiality of this five-star safety crash test?"

"Mr. Qiaopu was just speaking carelessly for a moment. Please don't take it to heart."

"That's right, Mr. Lu, this five-star safety crash test is already halfway done. Why change it and waste everyone's time?"

"Even if we retest, the results will be the same. I don't think it's necessary."

"Besides, the test is being conducted in full view of everyone. The fairness and impartiality are clear to all. I don't think anyone would joke with their brand's reputation!"

Although they were all extremely jealous and hateful of Lu Haifeng, they had to say some insincere words to appease him.

As for Du Jie-Qiaopu, he didn't dare to cause any more trouble at this time. He was already regretting it.

However, Lu Haifeng didn't want to let them off so easily. Since they wanted to stir up trouble, let's see who was afraid of whom.

He continued, "I think we should conduct a fairer and more impartial crash test again."

"Otherwise, I don't think anyone will be satisfied with the results of our test this time."

"After all, the safety performance demonstrated by our Audi A4 is indeed hard to believe."

"With this result, if the positions were reversed, I would also question it, and consumers might not believe it either."

"The test activity is being conducted on Audi's territory, and the five-star crash test standards were also set by Audi. Everyone will suspect that we've made some small moves."

"So, retesting is very necessary. What do you all think?"

Hearing Lu Haifeng's words, the heads of the various car brands cursed inwardly, 'We've already bowed our heads, what else do you want?'

If we dared to retest, would we still need to bow our heads to you?
